Submissions for this project are currently closed while we transition to a new website. The survey will be open for feedback again on Wednesday 1 October.
We understand that sport and recreation is an integral part of our social fabric - and are committed to providing parks, sporting fields and recreation areas that contribute to the health and wellbeing of residents and visitors.
To deliver this commitment, we developed the Places to Play Plan, which included seven (7) sub plans that have now been adopted by Council.
In June 2025, we also engaged with the Port Macquarie Hastings Sports Council on this plan. Based on feedback, the plan was reviewed and submitted to the August Ordinary Council Meeting, where Councillors resolved to place the revised draft Recreation and Open Space Action Plan 2025-30 on public exhibition.
Why is this important
The updated plan reflects current priority projects required to meet community needs, along with facilities needed to meet forecast growth in our region. The plan covers three timelines for delivery of priority projects: 1) immediate (2025-26), 2) short-term (2026-27 and 2027-28) and 3) medium-term (2028-29 and 2029-30) on pages 8-16.
Every second year an annual report, which details performance against agreed outcomes in the plan, will be reported to Council.
